Editorial Review

For many pet owners, feeding can be a logistical quandary. Sometimes work schedules or upcoming vacations demand robotic alternatives to pet sitters or pet boarding, options which are either unreliable or prohibitively expensive. Automatic pet feeders fill this need by being there when the pet owner can't or won't be. The most important aspect of pet feeding, certainly to the pet, is the schedule, and here too automated feeders prove invaluable by relinquishing kibble according to the owner's pre-programmed settings, such as with the Petwatch PW SA and Petmate Aspen Pet Lebistro.

Since 1983, Koolatron, a Canadian company, has manufactured and distributed thermo-electric and refrigeration products. They continue to expand their product line to include outdoor equipment and home care conveniences, including pet feeders such as the Lentek 6-Day Feeder. This feeder is similar to the Andrew James 6 Day Pet Feeder minus the voice recording and playback features. Six separate food trays hold 2/3 cup of dry, or 5 1/2 ounces of moist, food each. The owner merely needs to place the food in each chamber, then set the timer to activate in 6, 12 or 24 hours. The automated timer and self-opening food tray does the rest.

The Lentek 6-Day feeder features a removable lid and food trays for easy cleaning. It also comes with 2 refreshable inserts, which are basically small ice packs to keep wet food fresh. It requires one 9-volt battery, which is not included. Also, this feeder does not have a back-up system to store settings, so when the battery is taken out, whatever settings were in the feeder will have to be reset when the battery is replaced. And unlike on the Andrew James feeder, there is one slot on the Lentek that always stays open, so really there are only 5 fresh future meals.
